Wrs s —by “Steve”Rice In my youth, our family used twenty-five home-made tallow candle* every night, and then had only feeble, flickering light. Today we walk into a room and switch on the light and are so certain of getting , what we want that the luxury and con venience of electric service is scarcely given a thought. Somebody has to “keep things going,” of course—generate the current and serd it along the wires and see that the supply is adequate. That’s the duty of the boys at the Central Power Station. We work un ceasingly to give you this satisfactory service. In the old days it cost my family more for one night of flickering candle light, than it does now for many, many days of elec tric service. “STEVE” RICE Thirty-seven years ags, when § l ha elertrlo light plant was Li located at (eleventh and Dodge [ «treeta, hfephrn (lice, oldest employee In point of service, j started with the company aa a rope apllcrr. ! line to his experience upon 'ailing vessels, ahortly after j! iho Civil War, he was well | able to take core of lO.iWO feel j of rope, which was theo the jjj driving element between the jj ••Id atyle engines and genera i ora. \ n »v mnmmolh turbo 'venerators, driven hy great j j !j *tenm hollers, “grind nut’* j jj . leetrle current.
